The impact of Wang Siyi's subjugation of the divine eagle is unparalleled.
The legend swept across the entire Liaodong land at a rapid speed and reached the ears of every Manchu.
As a result, the hard-working National Defense Force discovered that the Manchus, who were still very hostile and stubborn, put down their weapons and rushed towards the territory of the Haixi Jurchens like crazy.
Then they knelt down in front of Wang Siyi devoutly and offered their utmost loyalty.
Especially when they saw the legendary divine eagle standing on Wang Siyi's shoulders looking for power, they seemed to see a god.
Surrender to the gods willingly...and honorably.
"We have worked so hard, traveled across mountains and rivers, and fought life and death, but we can't compare to such a bird."
Bai Xiaoqi circled around the white eagle like a pug. He wanted to reach out several times, but when he saw the white eagle sticking its head out, he pecked it and quickly retracted it.
He had long heard that the emperor's family had a tradition of keeping pets. There were cats, dogs, and tigers in the palace.
Well now, there is another divine eagle.
But I have to say that he was extremely jealous when he saw the divine eagle squatting on Wang Siyi's shoulder and accompanying Wang Siyi as he walked among the army.
After I went to Shenyang to serve as a state minister, I had a lot of free time. Would I like to get a pet of some kind?
Although the mountains were covered with heavy snow and the air was extremely cold, Wang Siyi did not rest, but worked even harder.
The Manchus in Liaodong chose to surrender because of the sacred sculpture, but she deeply understood that if she wanted to make this land long-term and peaceful, the most important thing was to allow the people here to live and work in peace and contentment.
The current cold winter is the biggest nightmare for the people.
So Wang Siyi led a huge team through the barren mountains and ridges, visiting one tribe after another and delivering urgently needed food, clothes and medicines to the needy people.
The people who were dying became more alive after being treated. This kind of comparison is the most heart-warming.
Queen Wu's reputation for kindness, together with the divine eagle, spread widely across the land of Liaodong.
Zuo Mengeng, who had already arrived in Henan, was really pleased after hearing about Wang Siyi's deeds in Liaodong.
There is nothing better than having a good wife at home.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and work is very hard. Your government must ensure that all workers are well taken care of and minimize casualties. We must always remember that we do such projects not for political achievements, but for
People. In this case, let’s start by taking care of the people.”
At the Taohuayu construction site, Zuo Mengeng stood high up, watching the scene of hundreds of thousands of people working together, and his heart was really surging.
Although winter has come, it is still warm here in Henan, so Xue Fengzuo decided to start the river construction project from Taohuayu to Weihui.
All workers basically come from Henan and neighboring Shanxi Province.
After years of war, disease and famine, the population in these places has declined sharply, and the surviving people are facing great pressure to survive.
It is also the cold winter season, when there is no production in the fields and the people's homes are empty, making it impossible to survive.
At this time, working-for-relief is definitely the best way.
Although the river project is very hard, the people who work here can not only get wages, but also food, and they have long been satisfied.
What Zuo Menggen wants to do is to put another tight spell on the officials in charge here.
It has always been impossible for large-scale projects to avoid casualties. Only when the government and officials work properly and take care of them as much as possible can casualties be minimized.
Even though the common people who have long been numb don't care at all about this kind of thing, Zuo Mengeng does.
The people buried their heads in the soil and chanted slogans to create heaven and earth.
After so many years, at this moment, even though they are doing heavy labor, they all have happy smiles on their faces.
Not far behind them, all the sheds as far as the eye could see were steaming.
There are their female relatives there, busy with meals. When noon comes, they can temporarily put down their work and have a sumptuous lunch.
White steamed buns paired with egg drop soup is a delicacy that many people have never tasted in their lives, but it is served here every day.
The workers discussed privately and wondered where the government could get so much money and treat them so well.
But when they saw the officials who inspected the construction site holding their heads high, they knew that the government didn't seem to care about these expenses at all.
Everyone knows that the emperor will come to the construction site today.
And many people watched.
While the workers were working, they secretly looked into the distance.
In their minds, the emperor was too far away and too lofty.
If you can see it once in a lifetime, it will be a conversation piece that can be passed down for generations.
The emperor looked very simple. Except for the many people around him, he did not wear a gold dragon robe. He also did not use a gold hoe to work with everyone. Only his tall and straight figure made the workers feel
To be as trustworthy as a mountain.
The people are willing to work for such an emperor and such a country.
"At present, our army has marched outside Tongguan, and the Liang army is reinforcing the fortifications in Tongguan. It seems that they are preparing to resist to the end."
When Zuo Menggen came to Henan, he had another important matter, which was the military aspect.
Now that Shanxi and Henan have been pacified, the next target of the northwest strategic cluster is naturally Shaanxi.
Liang Yue, who is entrenched in Shaanxi, is the issue faced by the Northwest Strategic Cluster.
After Liang Yue destroyed the Qing and Han banners along the Yellow River, he quickly returned to seize Tongguan, Yan'an, Shangzhou and other important places and began to build defense lines.
Obviously he also understood that the National Defense Forces would definitely invade Shaanxi.
Speaking of Liang Yue, Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
This former tenant of his own family has now grown into a tycoon, especially one who has a blood feud with him.
I wonder if Liang Yue still can't let go of his hatred after so many years?
However, Zuo Mengeng was very indifferent to his past hatred.
After all, he was not a witness and had never met Liang Yue. Strictly speaking, Liang Yue's tragedy was not caused by him.
On the contrary, looking at Liang Yue's information, Zuo Mengeng felt that talents were rare.
"Liang Yue is quite different from the former peasant army leaders. This man is benevolent and always treats the people well. He should fight for it. Send someone over to see if he can surrender? If possible, it is best not to fight.
beat."
Regarding Shaanxi's next move, Zuo Menggeng put forward the policy of courtesy first and then fighting.
This approach has been unanimously recognized by the Northwest Strategic Cluster.
It's not that these generals are afraid of war, but that everyone understands that Shaanxi is just the first step in the northwest strategic cluster.
To the west of Shaanxi, there is still a vast area stretching thousands of miles that needs to be conquered.
It would be best if we don’t spend too much energy on Shaanxi.
